Fantastic Backyard
The backyard is the real feature of this rental. It is a south-facing backyard, which means a lot of sun. It is roomy & nicely set up. The Bermuda Dunes neighbourhood is lovely & the drive to other areas of the desert was easy. Liaising with the host, Michael, was a seamless process. He was exceptionally responsive. The property could be improved by addressing the things that are in disrepair & by hiring a different cleaning company. In the master bedroom there is a loose hinge preventing proper closure of the door. In the master bedroom closet the floor transition molding is loose causing us to trip. Both toilet seats need to be replaced as they slide due to broken hinges. The fabric on some of the outdoor dining chairs is ripped. Access to the backyard is via two sliding glass doors, both of which need to be repaired. They are both stiff & difficult to open & the one in the master bedroom was installed incorrectly. The area that the cleaners have neglected is the kitchen. The Lazy Susans holding the pots & pans are filthy and some of the cupboards have stains running down them. The kitchen could be better stocked. There are enough pots & pans, but there is a single mixing bowl and it was unusable as it had a crack all the way through it. As ours was a long stay, we cooked most of our meals and found ourselves needing basic tools, e.g. a whisk. The house was, however, well stocked with paper products in the bathrooms & kitchen and we appreciated that.
